Design And Implementation Of PCB Design E-Process Management System

Quick development in IC industry technology lead great challenge to PCB design now a days. Especially for high technology companies, PCB design is now facing more challenges that come from frequently and uncontrolled modifications. Short time in PCB design phase and complex technical design specification make PCB design very difficult to keep develop plan. Delay and multi-design-phase lead to main extra costs for hard ware project.Being a small project, PCB design need also project management to help control risks, such as by involving in following activities of: design evaluation and workload forecast, risks identify, modifications and quality control, etc. This give good improvement through the manufacturing and debug phase. Based on CMMI theory and project management methodology, this article describes the life cycle of PCB design phase with individual period that can be efficiently managed from schedule and quality point of view.The article analysis the great challenges that the high technology companies face nowadays and emphasis the PCB design phase is more likely a project and need to be well managed during the whole design period. A better estimation and a practical plan will help keep the schedule, control risks of modification and improve the quality as well as getting a high production volumn.Since human reasons are always the difficult part to control. When we are trying to improve the communication efficiency and quality, a automatic process that follow PCB design lift cycle would be a good solution to have all information gathered along with the PCB design progress. Which would help avoid risks that caused by bad communication among the collaborators.Based on this principle, the article gives out the solution to manage PCB design process with a e-process management system and discuss how to implement the management system by setup the system database and the structure.The PCB management system enhance the communication of the PCB design team member and have all information noted orderly which will improve the efficiency of PCB design and management.
